The primary mission of the Naval Submarine League is to promote awareness of the importance of submarines to U.S. national security. The Naval Submarine League (NSL) is a professional organization for submariners and submarine advocates. Benefits of NSL membership include association with a dedicated group of submarine professionals, a professional journal – THE SUBMARINE REVIEW, an online Membership Directory, information on submarine developments and issues to assist members in creating public awareness of submarine capabilities and value to U.S. defense, a forum for exchange of thoughts on submarine matters, and an invitation to the Annual Symposium where the annual meeting is held. The Naval Submarine League was founded and incorporated in Virginia as a non-profit organization in 1982.
